Gotta love these sci-fi tutorials done by Ducky, the most fun thing about them is how you can use them together with other Ducky 3D tutorials to create really interesting scenes.i used this with the recent spinning cube tutorial from the channel and the results were very interesting.

[@pavanbhadaja8859]

Use linear light instead of mix. This will remove the offset of texture when you mix.

[@TheDucky3D]

Thank you! I’ll try that out

[@bennyweimer2345]

that sounds simpler than doing it with vector math XD

[@JWD-II]

this is actually also possible in eevee if you use a volume object with a mesh to volume modifier, and then make a attribute node and plug it into the emission strength (or if you dont wanna use emission, the density has already "density" as an attribute by default). it looks obviously a little different to cycles.

[@CarlosSaulRodriguezA]

can you elaborate just a little bit on that, or which nodes and how? i almost got there, and got a nice looking rystal ball in eevee, but once i got to the "Emission Strength" step i can't make it look good :(

[@JWD-II]

@@CarlosSaulRodriguezA you have to multiply the attribute node with the texture setup, also you kinda have to increase the density (in the modifier settings) a lot (that makes it slow but its fine if you dont animate the ball(camera animation shouldn't have an effect)). how it looks can also depend on what tile size you have in the volumetrics tab in the eevee render settings

[@CarlosSaulRodriguezA]

@@JWD-II i'll try, thanks a lot!!!

[@darrenberkey7017]

Oh, man, this is the kind of effect I was looking for the other day for one of my models and it's perfect. Thanks!!

[@TheDucky3D]

I’m glad it helped

[@jozsefunderscore2320]

Oh mannn perfect just in time as im making something revolving a sort of artifact, thanks!!

can you do advanced smoke simulations next? like being able to control where the particles move

good idea ^^

[@jenovaizquierdo]

I definitely agree with you, please Ducky 3D

[@DataPunkStudios]

ducky, your videos have literally taught me so much about some of the rendering processes in blender for such a long time. I think I would of been lost so long ago without your videos. thank you for the breakdowns over the years and the videos you upload. with that said, you got any tips of making the plasma dot he thing where it bounces around inside the glass? Im going to do some tests on my end to make it move, but would love your input if you get a moment. if not, all good man, thumbs up as usual. cheers!

[@pwnsire5900]

nice. you get an even cooler effect if you squeeze two or more colors between two blacks in the color ramp

[@omidpakbin]

OH LOOK, an awesome KZbin video without the KZbinr telling me to "smash the like button and subscribe". Fantastic. I'm doing both.

[@RyanKingArt]

Awesome result!

[@bennyweimer2345]

You can get a volumetric sphere in evee by plugging a spereical gradtiant texture into the density and clamping it with a color ramp, and then you could use screen space refraction on the sphere

[@TheDucky3D]

Oh I need to try that!

[@richghostwolf]

@@TheDucky3D I can tell you that it works really, really well, actually. I was a bit put out that the effect as shown didn't attenuate as it approached the wall of the sphere, but I figured that was something you left for us to figure out on our own. And thank you for doing that, actually. One of the things about your videos that I appreciate.

[@keltart809]

wow that really nice

[@blackhalo117]

I think my brain just popped. So freaking cool, so happy I came across your channel.

[@TheDucky3D]

Heck yea dude

[@popeye99d]

I love these tutorials, I made a nice little background, and still have time to make it to work on time! thanks for being the best teacher

[@HypaCube]

very informative as always! cud totally use this to make nebula-like textures

[@sejalsbabyworld]

Excellent tutorial.. kudos to u 👏 just wow I was struggling with these and found the perfect one 😊

[@writersblock8493]

THNKS Ducky! Going to do one of your tuts soon

[@BlenderFan]

Great Tutorial and happy blending with blender.

[@wranhala3898]

A very cool lesson! A simple and effective result! Thank you 😍👍

[@Soulsphere001]

I've been wanting to find something similar to this, for years, because I wanted to create a logo for myself. I'll have to go through this, and some other techniques, to figure out how to make something good for myself.

[@kretoskim8555]

Just beautiful

[@Ramen-fb4xr]

This will be perfect for materia!

[@mdm5382]

This is perfect in combination with a geometry nodes project I'm working on

[@johnleighdesigns]

Really nice look and I fancy trying this out plus animating the volume if possible could be an interesting look

[@davidmcsween]

If you just stick with a regular shape like a cube or sphere you can make this in Eevee. Simply limit the density via a Gradient > Spherical texture ;-) make it match the edge of your glass surface

[@FauzanAntony]

Thank you ducky 3d for this tutoriall 😍

[@JenD-jw5uj]

Amazing!

[@alexm498]

Absurd how good you are lol. THANK YOU

[@lumpypixels]

Such a cool Technique paired with bake sound to Fcurves I love your tuts they are inspirational-

[@alexdib3915]

That looks really dope man! great job too with the lighting and scene

Wonderful! Can't wait to try this

[@TheDucky3D]

Have fun!

Finally Duck again with a great stuff! Cool thanks!!

it would be awesome if you made a tutorial on Aura Effect and beam attacks like anime.

[@SemiNeural]

Looks fricking sick

[@TheDucky3D]

Thanks man!

[@moonslayerbs1783]

Can Someone help me, the volume and smoky stuff is in a cube around my Ico sphere, not as a texture or something on it. I have copied the tutorial exactly, and I don't know what to do.

[@shyamsubbiah644]

Really simple and detailed explanation! Your channel is a treasure next to blender secrets. Can you do a tutorial next on how to create procedural aura or particles on a character?

[@ALIVESCREENS]

Love your tutorials so helpful.

[@paulazacostarodriguez4947]

amazing effect and tutorial... but I have had some trouble, followed up all the steps, and the volume seems to not constrict inside the sphere or take the textures very well, instead it created like a square around/ outside the sphere. I am using blender 3.3.1 if it matters. Any idea?

[@wyarn]

same for me :/

[@CHEEZEyCHEEZE]

Never been this soon to a video. Great work love the videos.

Would be cool to see you animate one of those plasma balls/lamps. The ones where the plasma follows where your hand is touching.

[@kira_covers5898]

Thank you for this tutorial I am a new beginner and managed to make it, albeit not as good looking

[@That_Guy46]

OOOO love your vid's man keep up da good work

[@wadeo5927]

is Musgrave texture a addon or has it been changed? i can't find the node at all and going through other texture nodes nothing comes up nearly the same

[@user-od5bt5ve4v]

please tell the settings for noise texture instead of musgrave texture for this same procedural video

[@jacobwilliams596]

this tutorial rules, also if you switch your noise textures over to 4d and use a #frame driver you can animate the inside of the ball ;)))

[@vihaansuryawanshi5225]

best and small node tree

[@SpieleSuchti894]

i cant seem to be able to reproduce the same clear image and contrast between black and blue colors as you. Mine looks a lot more foggy. Im using Blender 3.2

[@SpieleSuchti894]

fixed it, i forgot to turn the roughness to 0

[@TechGamerAndHacker]

Great 👍bro

[@theblackdragon7321]

I was trying to do something like is myself, and was trying to make the Palantir from LotR the all seeing stones

[@ricardogoro]

hermoso material

[@MatichekYoutube]

it seems that this noise and musgrave texture is changed a bit in new version - had to use Musgrave texture with Scale of 0.05 in order to get something out. and yes, I have the same 1m icosphere

[@eclairesrhapsodos5496]

Hope that be possible in LuxCore

[@leodessertenne4296]

How can I change the roughness of the surface with a noise texture for example, I can not affect the volume and the roughness of the surface in the same time ??

Why material builder addon is removed from blender market?

[@pandaho225]

I don’t know if I could request but can u do like a mountain large scale scene ish tut thanks. Btw best short tutorial channel on KZbin

Some one plz help when I'm connecting the volume shader to to volume it's creating volume out side the spheres in a cube shape not inside I'm using blender 3.2 vr

i wish belender just let use choose between normal glass and glass with volume and plasma

[@hannamirgo1041]

Thank you for tutorial! Why I cant do mapping on sphere? It looks like on cube every time((

can I add shimmery metallic effect to the Musgrave texture? So it will look like lose gold shimmer slime (I hope that make nay sense)

Please make a tutorial on designing a car

[@bobyalex3d]

I'm facing the problem where volume principle doesn't work on blender 3.1. Can someone help me fix it? It show me the sphere as pink when I try to place the volume into the emision :(

[@longhuynh9244]

Idk if you are still looking for an answer or not. But, you can go to Edit mode, ctrl + A to choose the whole model, and Shift + N to recalculate object's normal (maybe check the 'Inside' option, too) and the volume will show up

[@wilhelmeniabilliedoherty5917]

Ooo I bet you could use this to make marbles!!

[@TheoPantazi]

As always, great video. Thanks. One question, does it render with alpha transparency through the glass orb?

[@deadcurls]

Hey man I’ve just started watching your videos because I just got into 3d animation, but I’m curious to what hardware you’re running because your videos are smooth and when I’m animating my computer is struggling lol

[@MartinBrlei]

Can you share the HDRI from the beginning?

[@nexxr3]

AMAZING

[@CharizardFan_og]

How would you go about making this same orb, with the same effects but add some text that appear inside the orb? Like a smoky effect?

[@pfeffermartin642]

nice

[@esraaayman8702]

How could we replace musgrave in blender 4.1

[@rayr268]

Im using this to recreate a flying orb ufo thingy I saw in nov 2023

[@zillaquazar]

Maybe add some frensel to it to show that it is a ball without needing lights

Holy moly!!!

That is the words i'm looking for this video!!!!!

[@Giga3D811]

ooh this would be so good for my mewtwo!🐶😯

[@TheDucky3D]

Awesome

[@MYBB90]

i followed the steps but when it gets to making the orb reflective by turning the roughness to 0, i get different results. mine is just a dark grey ball with some speckles but not reflective like yours

[@Jawad_Alhakeem]

what version of blender do you use? love your tutorials BTW!

[@mosumartdesign]

Thanks sirrr

[@TheDucky3D]

Of course

[@KNet-ku1ww]

Is it possible to transfer the finished orb effects and animations onto Unity or Unreal???
